What's that you say? You want to know more about the Digitiser 30th Anniversary Weekend that's taking place on the 28th and 29th July 2023 at the Harrow Arts Centre? You want to know what it’ll be like??! And why we’re even doing it?!

Well, it's none of your business, frankly.

I jest.

​Fart (read) on! 
 
This is our fourth live spectacular – including DigiFest back in 2016 – and we keep doing them because they’re like nothing else. We don’t want to get old and decrepit and regret missing an opportunity to try to bring something a little bit special into the world. Each time the shows have gotten better and more ambitious, thrusting at the envelope of what we can achieve on our budget – but that’s only part of our reason for doing it.
 
The sense of community, to be able to share a left-field sense of humour in a safe environment full of like-minded weirdoes, isn’t something we’ve ever experienced anywhere else. 
 
This time, it’s a celebration of not just three bloody decades of a thing that – frankly – it’s probably a bit odd to be celebrating, but a celebration that we’ve only just made it through three pretty awful years. The world has become so divided, but the Digi Live Weekend is a celebration of something that can still unite us. 
 
We – me and you – have a shared history. Some of you grew up reading my words. Some of you only discovered Digi since it relaunched on YouTube, and you tell us that Sanja and I have kind of become like friends that you hang out with virtually once a week. With appearances every now and then with other mates, like the Cheapshow boys. 

It's happening again! Bigger and better and more anniversary-er than ever!

It may not have escaped your attention that Digitiser is celebrating 30 years of existence in 2023, and to celebrate, two years on from the triumph that was Digi Live 2.0, we're going to be hosting a full weekend of live nonsense, talks, panels and screenings.

​We'll be joined by lots of special guests, and over two nights we intend to entertain the living hell out of you. Your body will be broken and shattered by the time we've finished with you. You'll be begging us to stop. 

Read on for more details, or just throw caution to the wind and book your tickets to Night 1 here and to Night 2 here.

EDIT (20 Jan 2023):
If you want help with accommodation or travel, or have any questions, there's now a Facebook group set up for that: https://www.facebook.com/groups/726702425742043/

EDIT (2 Feb 2023): 
We've requested that the start time of the Friday night be moved to 6.30pm, with doors opening at 6pm. Also - no interval, so that we don't finish too late.

What a year-and-a-bit it has been. Since the last Digi Live happened, Sanja and I almost died in a car accident, the world was hit by a global pandemic, Donald Trump was ousted, and Digi Live 2.0 got postponed.

​Until now.

It's official, kids: we’re less than a month from a brand new Digitiser Live show…!

We’ve all been waiting a long time for this, and we’re working hard to ensure that wait will have been worth it. The show is bigger, madder, safer, and more ambitious than the first one. The time has come for the official Digi Live 2.0. FAQ!
​
Read on for this aforementioned thing.

Hello. Blimey. Been a while, eh? Bean a while. Do you see? Do you, though?

What a year.

In case you missed it, Digi Live got postponed (more on that shortly).

Sanja and I launched a podcast.

We got Covid.

We made a whole bunch of YouTube videos. Sanja became a proper part of the channel. And then we got together with our mates again.

And then we got the okay to go ahead with Digi Live. 

Oh, and yeah... we've decided to do a second series of Digitiser The Show, with video games and everything. 

So, I thought it was long overdue that I gave those of you who aren't Patrons some insight into what is happening, what has been happening, and why...

Have you seen these comedy dinner shows they do? Basically, it's a sort of chicken-in-a-basket night, where actors flail around the diners pretending to be characters from classic sitcoms; Fawlty Towers, Only Fools And Horses, 'Allo 'Allo, and - Thor help us - Mrs Brown's Boys.

Familiar costumes and catchphrases appear in lieu of anything approaching actual creativity, the actors looking slightly off, but not so off as to be completely jarring - so long as you squint. It's warm and familiar, and audiences laugh out of recognition, because some people are sufficiently stupid for that to be enough. 

Anyway, that's what Marvel's Avengers kind of reminded me of. It's Marvel's Avengers: The Comedy Dinner Show. 

"Don't mention The Infinity War! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it."

"Hahahahahahahahaha!"

Except here you have to pay extra if you want Iron Man to do that bit where he falls through the bar.
